Do you like fruits and vegetables? If so, then you better like honeybees, too. These little guys are responsible for pollinating 90 food crops that make up one out of every three bites of food on our tables.

So you can understand why scientists are so upset to see bees disappearing at an alarming rate due to what is being called Colony Collapse Disorder.  The reason for the sudden disappearance of the bees is still a mystery, one that is explored in a new documentary that is being touted as perhaps the most important documentary since An Inconvenient Truth.

Filmed in the US, Australia, Europe and Asia and narrated by Ellen Page, The Vanishing of the Bees follows two commercial beekeepers as they strive to keep their bees healthy. More importantly it explores the deeper meaning between these creatures, man and Mother Nature. Watch the fascinating trailer and then sign up to be notified when the film shows in your area. It releases, quite appropriately, on August 22, which is National Honeybee Day.

In the meantime, why not show your support for the bees with one of today’s VPODs. They pack quite a sting with their diamonds, rubies, and 18k gold.

And they’re a great way to share the buzz about the bees for a vintage fashionista!
